I can tell you from reading/watching press regarding Stevie for the past 15 years, this whole notion of her and Prince being besties is complete BS that didn't start up until the man died. For decades there were only a few select anecdotes that she would share about Prince in the context of making Stand Back. There is another story of them hanging out for an afternoon and that's about it. Since he has passed, suddenly she talks about him as if they were as close as her and Don Henley. It's all ego driven bunk.
